I'm returning home today from a family vacation at Virginia Beach, and since I somehow convinced myself that the first Wednesday of the month would not occur during the trip, I don't have an IWSG post ready for this month. However, I can still answer this month's question: Has your writing ever taken you by surprise?
I'm still early in my writing career, but the first big surprise I received from my writing was the first time I looked back at an earlier chapter and realized it wasn't a mess (which up until then hadn't been the case). I guess practice makes perfect after all.
I won't be visiting other IWSG sites today since I'll be on the road, but I look forward to seeing you all next month when I'm one of the co-hosts.
Happy writing!

I'm with you on that. It does amaze me when I read something I've written, edited, and think it sounds good. Sigh.

ReplyDeleteI had a similar surprise at one point. I read something I wrote and thought for a moment that somebody else must've written it.
ReplyDeleteI love it when that happens--when a piece I've written isn't as bad as I had thought. ;)
ReplyDeleteHope your vacation was great
Hope you're having a wonderful holiday. Blessings
